Flink SQL Tutorial - a Gentle Introduction

Hey Daniel, out of curiosity is there a reason behind the switch to making more Kotlin content? 🙂

[@Arcane861]

Have you been preferring it to Scala recently or is it the reach, etc? 🙂

Love Scala! Just tried some Kotlin for a change 🤷‍♂️

Hi Daniel, I have just finished a data engineering training course (in-person), before that I finished a Master's degree in Chemistry (a computational project) and I have been writing a lot of scala lately after doing some fp stuff (the odersky coursera course and red book). I have not been having much luck with my job search (looking for data engineering jobs, python and scala) though. I am currently doing a data eng project in scala (web scraping, spark on gcp, gonna make a frontend to show some graphs) to try to prove that I have some skills as the work I done in the training course isn't allowed to be released. Do you think it is feasible for my first job to be a scala position as a non-cs grad? Frustrating as I've been loving learning fp and especially love typed dataset api in spark! But might have to abandon scala and do some python projects to improve my job search Thanks

Recruiters often filter quickly on CS qualifications/degree. Your project is a good idea as proof of skills. Need help, reach out at [e-mail]

Hi Daniel, Why not Scala but Kotlin? Is Scala going to be dead in the near future?

[@rockthejvm]

Nah, was just fun :D

haven you read JDG Scala Resurrection? yeah a lot of projects moved on to Rust/Kotlin. AI is dominated by Python. Crypto is Rust / Haskell. Some Spark shops will still run Scala. So sadly they missed making Scala more than just a research platform about Scala. But I still love it.

Why Kotlin, why not Java or Scala🤔

[@rockthejvm]

Because it's fun :D can easily translate the code to Scala or Java
